Lost in the ocean

Right in the middle of an ocean
You realise you're part of the life cycle
Staring right there at the big sun
The blinding light shuts down your IQ

The water seems to be overcoming you
Your saviour appears to be a big rock 
Only if nightlight tales were true,
Then a shark's back wouldn't be a big shock

You wake up realising you slept the night
In a split second you feel something sharp
Of course your body is a shark's delight
It wouldn't care about all your crap.
